Ge wall oven door will not open

The lever that you move to the right for the self clean cycle is in the middle an will not move back all the way to the left .It will move all the way to the right for the cleaning cycle. The oven door will not open

If you can not open this door, then the problem probably is that you stopped the clean cycle before it was finished. Restart the cycle, and set it at the minimum of 3 hours, and then when it is finished, it will release the latch that locks the door. I had this problem last night, and after the cycle was finished, the door latch was released. Hope this helps.
